Awesome, I'll have to go check out the showings at Violet Crown. Only thing that sucks about that place is that each screen hold about 30-40 at most.

thats one of of my most wanted upgrades so great news. Now bring on the Spirit of the Beehive upgrade please.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes :thumbsup:

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I'd gladly get Down By Law on Blu-Ray. Especially if it came right on time for the July B&N sale...

Badlands? -pray-

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

You ain't kidding. Would love to finish out the Malick features on BD.

This is also the only one of his films I have never watched in its entirety. I am committed to that first complete viewing being in HD, preferably on BD.

Somebody make it happen, please!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Since when has Picnic at Hanging Rock been rumored? I've been wanting that on BD for YEARS now, but I thought the only news on it was something Peter Weir mentioned in '07.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Yeah, that's mostly bullshit.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

No, those are logical, well-informed guesses from a source who has been consistently correct in the past. Seeing how you've never posted in this thread before - come to think of it, I've never even seen you post in this forum before - why don't you do everyone a favor and return to whichever obscure hole you popped your head out of? Thanks!

I guess you're out of the loop on some of the pranks that go on here.

That explains the username, but not the comment.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Putting aside the fact that CriterionCast has been quite reliable in the past, almost all of those titles have been strongly rumored or confirmed by other sources. It's hard to say if they'll all come out this year, but they are all coming.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

got my White replacement all the way out in Australia. Great service by Criterion, didnt even have to ship the defective copy in.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

oh and as much as a Badlands BD would be awesome, the one that really caught my eye from that list was 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, a tremendous film.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

If the only thing Criterion released for the rest of the year was a badass BD of Thief, I would be more than content.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Good lord no shit. I had no idea Thief was a potential candidate for Criterion. If any Mann film gets the Criterion treatment, it should be Thief.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

What about The Insider? Nominated for seven Oscars, it doesn't even have a SE DVD. Arguably Mann's finest film, boasting one of the last decent Pacino performances. Thief is far likelier though, as it is an MGM property, while Insider is Buena Vista/Touchstone. Bring on the Mill Creek disc!

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The Insider is really good, but Thief for me definied Mann's work in terms of how he handles story, look, and feel of his films overall. Insider was remarkably more tame than what we usually get from him. Great story though as well as performances. But I think Thief would make a much better Criterion fit than The Insider.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Thief is amazing. Also like trespoochies said...fits more w/ CC.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

The Insider is fantastic; Thief is better, and has really grown on me since I rewatched it roughly a year ago. I have a 720p HDTV rip of it that will do for now, but I would absolutely love a Blu of it...doesn't even have to be Criterion.

Besides, I imagine Disney will eventually release The Insider, as Crowe and Pacino are still fairly marketable names. James Caan and Tuesday Weld...not so much.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I just gave up and bought Thief on DVD.

So I have no doubt that it'll be released as a Criterion soon.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

If you're a Tuesday Weld fan (as I am), then you simply have to see Lord Love a Duck, a strange and hilarious mid-60's satire of organized religion, beach movies, and the then-burgeoning West Coast health craze. Check out this orgasmic, incestous sweater-buying scene:

That's some batshit crazy stuff there NoirFan. Thanks for posting this, I definitely need to seek this one out.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Thank goodness it's spring because I don't think I can wear a sweater again for some time.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I demand that this film get a Criterion release immediately...

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

I caught the ending of this film on "THIS" and boy was I in WTF mode. I am going to have to check it out.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

It's also on Netflix Instant. Kim Morgan talks about it in the excellent documentary, American Grindhouse (also available on Netflix Instant).

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Wow. It's bullshit because it's all stuff that's been rumored on Criterion Forum which is a far better source of release information than anything else. But even then, there's nothing there that any of us following along wouldn't have guessed.

But thanks, interesting to see that side of you.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

So....the list is bullshit because it's comprised of titles that are likely candidates for release? Wouldn't that be the opposite of bullshit? -confused-

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Poor choice of words, fair enough. It's just annoying crap.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Well, not everyone follows the various threads on the Criterion Forum. The Criterion Cast list is a handy and well-organized reference for those who don't. Ryan Gallagher (the guy who runs Criterion Cast) is also a regular poster on the Criterion Forum and certainly isn't claiming any exclusive scoops.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

july releases:
down by law
the last days of disco
metropolitan
le havre

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Definitely looking forward to the Whit Stillman releases. And Down By Law. And Le Havre. Damn, July will be expensive. Hopefully I can lessen the pain with the B&N sale.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

Is this official or a guess?

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
 

No must buys for me - I'll stick with my Law and Disco DVDs, will rent Metropolitan (or, more accurately, will download a 720p MKV file, as Netflix no longer carries new Criterion Blu-rays), and might purchase Le Havre if it's released in time for the sale. A pretty humdrum month, but my wallet is pleased.
